THE REGION

Newcastle

Situated by the sea this glorious harbour side City is one of Australia's most liveable places.

With all the first class services and amenities of the world's major cities it still maintains a unique community ‘feel'

The education, medical and transport facilities are second to none and the city has a thriving art and cultural community.

As well as sitting alongside the beautiful Lake Macquarie shire it is also the gateway to the Hunter region.

The Hunter

The Hunter region of New South Wales is an impressive economic growth story that spans over 200 years, the last ten of which could be described as the most spectacular.

With a population of over 610,000, it is the largest regional area in Australia and home to more people than the state of Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory or the Gold Coast. The last decade has seen strong population growth as people relocate to the region from other parts of Australia.

Covering an area of 31,000 square kilometres, the Hunter is administered by eleven local government councils centred on the City of Newcastle.

The region is a significant contributor to the NSW economy. It has emerged from a largely industrial, coal and wine producing past to become the diverse industrial base, with its rapidly growing services and commercial sectors, that it is today
